ftp from Emacs

ftp from Emacs

[Alex]

Hi All!
I'm trying to ftp from Emacs with ligin name like "user@server.com" and it 
looks like agne-ftp is not recognising the login name in this format. Coul 
you provide me with the workaround e.g. regexp. ?

Thank You!

You are giving the username on the remote machine, the one with the file 
on it, right?

Also, I've found it handy to use a ~/.netrc file-- emacs will/should 
know about it and use it.  More info at "man netrc".

Re: ftp from Emacs

[Alex]

Hi ken
I actually have this line in .netrc:
machine servername.com login myloginwith@sign password mypassword


but Emacs just picks default username which I run it
under telling me that .netrc "is not owned by you or
badly protected".I swear I gave it full access (777)
and it owned by user which runs Emacs.

When I change ange-ftp-default-user to my login name like:
(custom-declare-variable 'ange-ftp-default-user '"myusernamewith@sign" 
'(......

it actually picks it up and asks for a password, connects and then errors 
with ange-ftp-error: FTP Error: USER request failed: 500 AUTH not 
understood.
Here is ftp buffer log:

ftp> open myserver.com
Connected to myserver.com.
220 ProFTPD FTP Server ready.
user "myname@myserver.com" Turtle Power!
500 AUTH not understood.
500 AUTH not understood.
KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type
ftp> 331 Password required for myname@myserver.com.
230 User myname@myserver.com logged in.
ftp> 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looking at your output (below), specifically the line: 

<snip>
230 User myname@myserver.com logged in.
</snip>

shows that you *are* logged in.  Put the cursor after the "ftp>" prompt
and type "pwd" and it should show you the current directory.  Or do
"stat" and you should get the output for that.  Now do "dir".  Do you
get a listing of the files in that directory?  If you don't, then do
"passive" and try again.  Note that you'll get all this same behaviour
if you ftp in, i.e., not in emacs, but just at the command line.

hth,
ken

Programs that read .netrc always check to make sure that
other users don't have read access to .netrc, so that
they won't be able to read your passwords.

You should chmod .netrc to 700,600 or 400.

The exact syntax for opening a remote file is:
/username@server:filename

Hope that helps,
Bijan
